Marking menus are a version of the pie menus that takes advantage of the fact that menu items are uniquely defined by their direction. In other words, when the user starts moving towards a target, you can tell what the target is going to be before the target is hit, just by looking at the direction of the movement.

How to edit the official pie menus in Python?
Another approach that gets closer to your idea is to create an addon that runs an operator on a timer to decide after the set time if it should toggle edit mode or show a pie menu. As it is, this example is awkward to use but could probably be improved with a bit more work.
